Taylor Swift conquers N.America box office with concert film

LOS ANGELES — After her sold-out stadium tour, pop superstar Taylor Swift filled movie theaters with screaming fans as her concert film took in an estimated $96 million in its opening weekend in North America, smashing records in the category.

While ticket sales for "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" -- which features scenes from three concerts -- were below some estimates for the Friday-through-Sunday period, they were still "giant numbers" that dwarfed other concert films, Gross said. Swift surpassed those titles in three days, making this the biggest box office weekend since this summer's simultaneous releases of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer."

Leslie Odom Jr. and Ann Dowd star in the horror flick, 50 years after the 1973 original.
